Anchorage’s animal shelter is significantly over capacity after the seizure of more than 70 dogs from an Anchorage residence this week, in what the city’s animal control agency referred to as a hoarding case.

Anchorage animal shelter is significantly over capacity after dozens of dogs are seized from a single home

The Anchorage Police Department described the situation as “one of the most severe neglect cases we’ve encountered.”

Twenty-four hours into his time, Sen. Booker just passionately defended public science and universities-- which, at their best, are cornerstones of democracy and a powerful tool for collective liberation (which is why they've been so aggressively attacked).

Thank you, Senator.
